Patent number: 10213549Abstract: A drug delivery device for delivery of medicament having a delivery pump system and a cartridge system, the delivery pump system operating electromagnetically by driving two disk magnets that are housed within pump body inserts of the cartridge system. The displacement of the magnets and an elastomer membrane placed between the magnets of the cartridge system results in a volumetric change within two reservoirs and the flow of medicaments. The medicament flows from the reservoirs to the inlet/outlet members via the pump body inserts and discharged to a patient user's body through an infusion set.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2014Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: PICOLIFE TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Farid Amirouche, Arash N. Attar, Matthew L. Cantwell

Patent number: 10130759Abstract: A cartridge system of a multi-ported drug delivery device with independently actuated collapsible reservoirs, for delivery of medicaments, which includes membranes placed between disk magnets that are housed within pump body inserts. The pump body inserts having flow channels and fluid openings are between two inlet/outlet members with communication control through active valves and dynamically stressed membranes. The inlet/outlet members of the cartridge system each having a fluid outlet component and fluid openings are securely engaged to two or more reservoirs containing fluid medicaments. The cartridge system driven by the pump driver system delivers an appropriate dosage of medicament for treatment prescribed.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2012Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: PICOLIFE TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Farid Amirouche, Matthew L.

Patent number: 8807169Abstract: The disclosure relates to a micropump having a first body portion including an inlet aperture and a second body portion including an outlet aperture. The first and second body portions may each have a mating surface disposed about a membrane-receiving inner surface in sealed relation with one another. A substantially dome shaped membrane having a reinforcement annulus located around an outer edge may be received by the first body portion membrane-receiving inner surface. A portion of the membrane may be moveable between a closed position in sealable communication with the inlet aperture and an open position spaced apart from the inlet aperture, and biased in a closed position. Operation of the micropump may cause fluid to flow through the first body inlet aperture, move the membrane to the open position, and flow around the edge of the membrane through the second body outlet.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2011Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Picolife Technologies, LLCInventors: Farid Amirouche, Matthew Cantwell

Publication number: 20140194812Abstract: In one embodiment, a medicament pump cartridge may include a reservoir configured to store a medicament, wherein the reservoir may be configured to transition between an expanded configuration when filled with medicament and a collapsed configuration when empty. The medicament pump cartridge may include an electromagnetic pumping mechanism, wherein the electromagnetic pumping mechanism includes at least one magnet secured to a membrane. Further, the medicament pump cartridge may include an electromagnetic valve operably coupled to the electromagnetic pumping mechanism. The pump cartridge may be configured to allow for secured refills through compatible ports. The pump cartridge may include light indicators for ports/orifice that communicate with pump, and possess sensor volumetric feedback for continuous monitoring of the medicament volume.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2013Publication date: July 10, 2014Applicant: PicoLife Technologies, LLCInventors: Farid Amirouche, Matthew L.

Patent number: 8764425Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a mold for making a membrane. A mold may include a cylindrical female portion having a diameter D. The female portion may include a concave face having substantially the same diameter D as the lower portion and a radius of curvature R. The mold may also include a cylindrical male portion having a diameter substantially equal to D. The male portion may have a central cylindrical portion with a height H extending from the lower terminus and a diameter of D-G, wherein G is the annular thickness of a spacing gap extending radially outward from the central portion. The male portion may also have a centered, convex lower face with a diameter of D-G and a radius of curvature R. The mold may also include a tubular body portion support member configured to receive a portion of the female and male portions.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2011Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Picolife Technologies, LLCInventors: Farid Amirouche, Matthew Cantwell

Patent number: 8663538Abstract: A method of making a membrane for use with a flow control system is disclosed. A female mold body portion and a male mold body portion are provided. A body portion support member configured to receive at least a portion of the female body portion and at least a portion of the male body portion is provided. The female and male body portions are separated from one another Membrane manufacturing material is provided to a concave portion of the female mold body portion. The sleeve is moved downward. The lower mold portion is lowered until it is just short of its final intended position. Excess membrane manufacturing material, if any, is removed from around the seam of the mold. The upper mold portion is lowered the remaining distance so that the two mold portions are separated by the exact distance desired for the final membrane thickness.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2011Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Picolife Technologies, LLCInventors: Farid Amirouche, Matthew Cantwell
